Subject: chess.
Warnings: none. its chess

hi. my name is xehanort.

i want to buy or commission a chessboard. a nice one, with heavy pieces. and i'd like some people to play chess with. i know a few different versions, so i can teach people to play others if anyone wants to learn. it would be nice to be able to meet up and play sometimes.

that's all, i think. please ask any questions if you have them, as well. thanks.

There's a variety of heavier woods here that sometimes get used in the larger ships, the ones meant to see combat, that should work, but I can also put some weights in the base if need be.

Oh! No need to worry about that.

[Kaveh, no.]

[Okay he's actually texting now.]

We'll take [A nice and reasonable amount of money here] doubloons.

[You are NOT working for FREE again, senior!!]

[ ah. married behaviour. ]

thankyou, alhaitham.

[Very married. So married that he may be currently ignoring Kaveh's protests and argument.]

Ignore him when he offers to do anything for free. He's horrible at accepting any form of recompense despite the fact that this is his living.

[He likes you enough Xehanort so he is now teaching you Dealing With Kaveh 101.]

I AM STILL RIGHT HERE, ALHAITHAM

Yes, but I'm currently in the middle of a conversation with somebody else, as you may have noticed.

[Did you not want him to talk to more people, Kaveh?? It's literally what he's doing right now!]

Telling him untrue things ABOUT ME

Oh? And which part of what I have said is as untrue as you claim to be?

[List them down, Kaveh. He dares you.

Also they're probably looking right at each other while doing this so its extra silly.]

[He is in fact mouthing "fuck you" from across the cafe, yes.]

I haven't been swindled since I GOT here!

[Alhaitham just gives a Look that they both know tends to imply a great many Things.]

Only because you got lucky for once. What would have happened if you ended up with somebody else who wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of you?

i see. so you've got to keep an eye on this kind of thing... must be difficult.

Extremely. He'd risk the chance of getting swindled if it means getting a smile from a stranger.

[Yeah Kaveh he's calling you out. CALLING YOU OUT.]

[ why am i having wonderland flashbacks. ]

i'll keep it in mind for the future.

[Well a smile from the Cheshire Cat may not be what one is looking for, per se.]

It would be appreciated.

[Force Kaveh to accept things so that he has to take them!!]

[ more tweedledum and tweedledee, in this case. ]

it looks like you'll be entrusted with the payments, though.

That's fine. He'd probably pretend to forget, otherwise.

[Yeah he knows all the tricks. Kaveh ain't getting away with this one.]

the feeling of setting a piece down with purpose is part of what i'm after. it's hard to describe, but i'll trust your abilities.

and i'll trust alhaitham's judgement, here. though the offer is appreciated.
